“I will never close any channels,” TASS quoted Zelensky as responding to a question about the fate of NEWSONE.
The Ukrainian leader also noted that he does not have the authority for such a move.
On September 5, it became known that the National Broadcasting Council of Ukraine decided to go to court in order to revoke the license of NEWSONE and achieve its closure.
On August 21, the Ukrainian party Opposition Platform - For Life accused Zelensky’s office of starting a war with independent media.
